New School Year. New Beginnings.

I hope that at some point over the last few weeks you have managed to find time to rest and relax as a family.

I am really looking forward to this term, an exciting time and a new era for Daviot Primary as we embark on becoming a cluster with Strathdearn Primary.

The Daviot staff are very excited about welcoming all our lovely pupils back to school tomorrow, as well as welcoming a few new faces.

Miss Costa has been getting the cabin ready for P1-4 and is looking forward to getting to know her new class.

Some of you will already be aware that Mrs Beattie is unable to be at school for a couple of weeks. P5 and 6 will be with Ms Cardoso tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. Ms MacKenzie (who will be with Miss Costa and P1-4 tomorrow) will take P5 and 6 on Wednesday. Next week, Mrs Pirie is delighted to be taking the class on Monday with Ms Cardoso taking over Tuesday to Friday.

Mrs Beattie, Miss Costa and I are all looking forward to getting to know all the girls and boys, and their families over the coming weeks. I would like to thank those who have already been in touch or whom we have already met for their warm welcome.

A time of change can be a positive experience, which I hope this will be for Daviot, but it can also be confusing. I am very keen for the staff team at Daviot to continue to work in close partnership with our families, as I know happens already. Please do get in touch if there is anything you would like to discuss, suggest or help with in regard to the school.

We will be in touch very soon to let you know about a forthcoming event and what we plan to get up to at Daviot Primary over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the update. Joshua and Amica are both looking forward to seeing all their friends and meeting the new teachers.
Apologies we couldn’t make the session on Friday but myself and Richard look forward to meeting you all too.
